Annual Address of the President, Beverley Warner.
January J7th., J 907.

Gentlemen:

We enter tonight upon the tenth year of
existence as a Club. A year hence will be a
more fitting time for review than now, although
I cannot help indulging: in the pleasing- thought
that we have really accomplished what we
started out to achieve - the building of a club
on strong and broad foundations, which is
pledged to the "cultivation of fellowship among
those having a common interest in Literature,
Science and Art."

The past year has been one of quiet prosperi-
ty. According to our custom we have enter*
tained distinguished guests after the simple
fashion which has become a tradition with the
Club.

We have lost but two members by death in
the past twelve months. Mr, George H. Norton
was of that type of quiet men of affairs who
make up the solid citizenship of our city. He
frequently sought the meetings of the Club
and found in its atmosphere an agreeable
change from the bustle and activity of com-
mercial life. In common with the whole City
and State we have been called upon to mourn
the death of Mr. Ernest B. Kruttschnitt. He
was not often at the meetings of the Club, but
was loyal in his support and appreciation of
the service he believed it rendered the com-
munity. The loss of such an upright citizen
and sane intelligence, is one not to be easily re-
paired. We place on record our high apprecia-

4 The Round Table Club

tion of his distinguished services to the Com-
monwealth, and our sorrow that his place at the
Round Table must be vacant.

The annals of club life are never exciting,
and the quiet flow of our existence is seldom
disturbed by any experience important enough
to call for special mention.

We must always recur to the primary object
of this Club, and urge upon our members the
duty of securing an increased attendance at the
weekly lectures. It is not an excessive duty
to lay upon each regular visitor to induce an-
other whose name is on the roll to form the
habit of frequenting the weekly meetings.
There has been just complaint in the past that
ourrooms were inconvenient for alar geaudience
to see and hear, especially illustrated lectures,
but the improvements recently begun and
almost completed give us a delightful and
spacious apartment in which to hold our assem-
blies.

The working members of the Governing
Committee should receive the thanks of the
Club for the time and patience they have given
to its service, and I beg to express a sense of
personal as well as official loss in the declina-
tion of Mr. Charles Uhlhorn to again become
a candidate for the office of Secretary, a decli-
nation which is the result of necessity and not
desire.

From the Treasurer's report you will know
of our satisfactory financial condition, and at
the request of several members, I reintroduce
the matter of the advisability of buying the

The Round Table Club

5

present club house and becoming our own
landlord.

"We have gradually acquired some property
of value and perhaps if we purchase the
property we now occupy, through an issue of
bonds possibly to be taken up by members, it
might be an economical measure, as well as
one tending to the greater permanence of our
organization. I would be glad to have this
matter discussed at this meeting.

In connection with this, and of great impor-
tance, I beg to suggest again, echoing my own
previous utterance, and that of my predecessor,
as well as the recommendation of the Library
Committee, the formation of a special depart-
ment of Louisiana literature, maps, prints, etc
illustrating the foundation and development of
the State.

The present Governing Committee refrained
from making a monthly appropriation for this
purpose, without first getting the endorsement
of the Club to such a venture.

It would not be a thing to be done in a hurry
but with many of our membership dis tinguished
as specialists in this line of study, it would not
be a difficult thing, as the years passed, to
accumulate a collection which would be a dis-
tinguishing feature of our work, and a valued
addition to the treasure of our "ancient city of
renown."

I wish that this matter may also be fully dis-
cussed at this meeting and some official action
taken.

I have adverted to the fact that next January

6 The Round Table Club

we will keep our tenth anniversary. Such an
event is well worth a special celebration, and
I ask that some action be be taken with that in
view. My own suggestion would be, subject to
your correction or amendment, that a special
committee of seven members be appointed, in
association with the Governing- Committee to
make preparations for such a celebration.
Those of us who were at the early meetings of
those gentlemen who believed that such an
organization should be and could be maintain"
ed, will remember the predictions of disaster
that were to overtake the enterprise in a few
years.

We had a few years of struggle, but the end
was never in doubt, and I think we may point
with pride to the decade upon the last year of
which we are about to enter. It seems fitting-
that we should mark these ten years of history
and achievement in some appropriate fashion,
and submit the matter for your further consi-
deration .

On November 15th., a largely attended recep-
tion was tendered the visiting delegation of
Presidents of State Universities.

The Round Table Club 7

Report of Library Committee*

New Orleans, La-, January 17th, 1907.

To the Round Table Club:
The Library Committee presents herewith

its annual report.

With some difficulty it has, at last, been
accomplished that the subscriptions for all pe-
riodical literature shall terminate on December
31st, of each year. Heretofore, as begun in
1903, the subscriptions terminated in various
months from December to June. Of course
some sacrifice was entailed in bringing about
this result; but, after all, it was moderate.

Herewith is trasmitted a list of all the periodi-
cals that have been ordered. The Library
Committee felt itself somewhat hampered in
this matter. Not only was the amount to be
expended for periodical literature limited b
the Governing Committee to §180.00, but their
resolution of December 19th, 1906, communi-
cated to the Library Committee, was construed
as more or less peremptory, as instructing the
Library Committee and leaving little or no dis-
cretion to the latter in the premises.

Fortunately the entire sum of $ 180.00 has not
been expended in the subscriptions thus made
The Library Committee is, therefore, of the
opinion, unless otherwise directed, that the bal-
ance of this amount unexpended may be used
to secure a few other periodicals of merit and,
perhaps, some books of Louisiana history.

It is with profound disappointment that the
Library Committee reports the failure of the
scheme, proposed two years ago, to lay the

8 The Round Tabus Club

foundation for a Club-L,ibrary, through the vol-
untary contribution of books by the members.
This idea has now been abandoned . But, as
suggested to the Governing Committee by the
library Committee, at a conference, the idea
of forming the nucleus of a library of works,
maps and plans pertaining to the history of
Louisiana, inclusive of works by Louisiana
writers, seems to have found favour. The
President, particularly, has accorded this pro-
position his full endorsinent. It is hoped that
the accomplishment of this undertaking will be
earnestly aided by the members of the Club
generally.

Respectfully submitted,

E. M. HUDSON,

Chairman.
